Engine Bug Exploits[]
Seeing the new Fire Arrow page reminded me of the recent discovery that a Fire Arrow can be used to mark where the player has been, to help avoid getting too lost or running around in circles. The engine exploits are famous, and so are Azal, Lytha, Luthien, and Thumper, to name a few. I would prefer a sub-section under each item that has such special qualities, rather than one page with everything listed. The Fire Arrow page--to keep using the example--has the Usage section. How about adding an exploit section below it, and on other such pages?

Reminded of back-stabbing Haunts, Zombies, and Apparitions.... Not really an Engine Exploit.
Reminded of Blackjacking Fire Elementals, Frogbeasts.... Not really an Engine Exploit.
Reminded of Flying Doors.... An Engine Bug. Any usefulness? Can a rope arrow be fired into a flying door?

Be bold. If you'd like it, create it. I _would_ in fact like to have a separate page for the exploits. Maybe an article, maybe a category. Like this one: w:c:doom:Category:Errors and bugs Keyholing, drowning zombies, etcetera... not all are useful, though. And I imagine readers in the mode of exploring engine oddities would be pleased to have access to all at once. Maybe one would be better off linking to a Fire Arrow light beacon article from the main Fire Arrow article?
